1. A method, comprising:
displaying a promotional message via a user interface of a first application;
detecting a user interaction with the user interface of the first application while the promotional message is being displayed;
initiating a uniform resource identifier (URI) associated with the promotional message that deeplinks to and causes a mobile device to automatically (1) switch from rendering the user interface of the first application to rendering a text messaging application user interface and (2) generate a text message with a pre-populated phone number and a pre-populated message body containing a request to join a subscription list;
detecting a user interaction with a send button of the text messaging application user interface;
sending the text message to the pre-populated phone number in response to detecting the user interaction with the send button such that a server associated with the pre-populated phone number subscribes the mobile device to the subscription list in response to the text message being sent to the pre-populated phone number; and
receiving a message of a subscription associated with the subscription list without sending an opt-in communication after sending the text message containing the pre-populated message body.
